The same goes for 'multiculturalism'--another addition to the PC dictionary. Different cultures don't mix and never will, which is why you find so much crime in 'multicultural melting-pot' areas. You don't often find Chinese in Somalian gangs, or vice versa.
I'm not sure what part of the world you live in but I'm in a part of London that's fairly mixed. Those that want to stick to their culture do, those that don't mix. You need only look to your average central London comprehensive school to see that. It's a big melting pot. Something for everyone. Generally people get on... if only with their own lives. Crimes are not deemed 'multicultural' so much as socio-economic. It's poverty, lack of income, feeling disadvantaged that gives rise to crime... Not culture. There are as many poor white folks as disadvantaged immigrants... and guess what?!! They commit crimes, too! It seems that the biggest criminals here, in the last decade, have been the politicians or News International cronies!
I think there are many people here who would rather be 'politically correct' than an aggressive bully who feels the the need to impress on others that they are somehow better than them.
Whatever you think of how others appropriate language... and that's all it is at the end if the day: how YOU think others appropriate language, when it doesn't fit in with how YOU would have everyone else speak... if it's to the benefit, or defence, of others, who may be at a disadvantage, it's not all bad. For all it's misdirected liberal bias, 'political correctness' still
has a heart that beats In the interests of the socially disadvantaged.
I don't think I mentioned 'white folks'. Where did I say they don't commit crimes?
No you didn't, you just mentioned the Chinese, Somalians and "so much crime in 'multicultural melting-pot' areas", as if multiculturalism is a sullied concept responsible for a proliferation of crime. I countered your thought by saying those who don't belong to an alternative culture, i.e. home spun white folk, also commit crimes. My apologies, if you think I made you out to be more racist than you actually are.

Not at all. It's a microcosm of the world at large. Where our young go 'to work'. It's where they learn to mix (and have been doing for the last sixty odd years in London) before they go out into the wider world, understanding that 'multiculturalism' may not be as divisive as you make it out to be. It's where I learned it.
Do you expect "blood baths" everywhere else, then? Or is that just another implicit sweeping generalisation?

I know what it means to me but I'm never entirely sure what you mean. You shift the ground beneath an argument so often, and with such force, I hear they are creating a Richter scale expressly for when you write.
I think you'll find that, in the modern age, some of the top schools have a mix of the children of Arab sheikhs, African 'royalty', Bollywood stars etc... as well as those of the old school aristocrats, indigenous established and nouveau riche.

How many more sweeping generalisations are you going to make? And are you suggesting they are race crimes, crimes of poverty??? What point are you actually making in the context of this discussion?

I have never before accused anyone of racism here, despite you making yet another sweeping generalisation about me seeing "racism hidden in every word".
Speaking of your affinity for sweeping generalisations: you need only go back and read the sweeping generalisation you made about multiculturalism, to see what made me come out of my forum slumber.
You do realise that the fact you resort to expletive doesn't strngthen your argument any? If anything it makes you sound more like the BNP low life that normally make the kind of statement you seem to be making.
